First Person Writer: Killing Game of Throne characters with a pen

If there's one thing certain about A Song of Ice and Fire and its related TV series, Game of Thrones, it is this: at least one character you care about will die. That reality has spawned many jokes, none quite so entertaining as a new "First Person Writer" parody video.

The video is from Mr. TVCrow, and is a tongue-in-cheek take on first-person shooting games, putting the viewer in the seat of author George R.R. Martin as he murders his darlings, one character at a time.

In the video, we get a look at characters in various scenes as the writer scribbles out different verisons of what goes down, killing them off. The deaths aren't permanent, however.

After killing characters in various ways, the writer tears up his drafts, choosing different deaths. In proper manner, there's even a tease for a happy ending, which is short lived. And, yes, Hodor does make an appearance.
